Summary
When it comes to your ex, nothing is ever easy.
The Borealis boys are settling into their new normal, or at least into their new digs. But when North’s soon-to-be (please-let-it-be-soon) ex-husband, Tucker, is arrested and charged with murder, everything goes sideways.
Hired by Tucker’s parents, North and Shaw begin looking for proof that Tucker is innocent, in spite of the evidence against him. When they find seemingly incriminating photos hidden in Tucker’s BMW, North is convinced that someone is trying to frame Tucker - and might get away with it.
But the cast of alternate suspects presents its own challenges: an estranged son, a betrayed wife, and North and Shaw’s close-knit circle of friends from college - men who had their own connections to the victim, and who had their own reasons for wanting him dead. A threatening email suggests that the motive, whatever it might be, lies buried in the past, in a relationship gone wrong. The question is, which one?
When Tucker is poisoned, North and Shaw realize that the killer isn’t finished. Clearing Tucker’s name won’t be enough; they must find the killer before someone else dies. And to do so, they will have to unearth truths from their own pasts.

An Emotional but Great Book
Redirection gutted me. And I mean this in the best way possible. The book is full of angst - North and Shaw are not in a good place, but they still make it work-they have a case to investigate. But oh my heart, the emotions I experienced reading this book! There were some hard moments, but the book ends on a positive note in true Gregory Ashe style. I absolutely love how he crafts such complex and deep characters that feel so real they could almost walk right off the page. The plot was full of drama, mystery and suspense with some great revelations about people's true natures. This was a great addition to the Borealis series, and it makes me eager to start on the next book in the series.
Charlie David narrates the audiobook and does a fantastic job. I liked how he performed all the characters. The audiobook production was well done and it was an enjoyable listening experience.

Well, the boys are back at it
“Do you think one of my b@lls is bigger than the other?” Shaw glanced down at his American flag hotpants. Cowboy boots and a spangled cropped tank completed the outfit. He inspected himself for several long seconds. He wished he’d brought a ruler.
Okay, with an opening like that, you know you’re in for quite a ride. Normally Mr. Ashe’s Borealis books begin with the definition of the word in the title and then Shaw and North going back and forth about what it really means. I have to admit, I missed that. Of course picturing Shaw examining his, uh, junk, formed a whole new image in my mind.
At the end of the last book, Shaw and North were definitely finished as a couple. I think I even questioned how their professional relationship would survive. I knew there was another book coming, so I didn’t spend too much time obsessing over the couple. Of course the two long-time friends and short-time lovers were going to sort things out. That being said, I did get a little irritated in this book with how long it took them to sort out their, uh, stuff.
Then, naturally, there’s a murder. North’s a-hole and hopefully soon-to-be ex-husband is implicated and North’s in-laws beg him to help. Shaw’s not sure about this, but Borealis could use the money. So they embark into an examination of the life of the victim, the life of Tucker, the life of their friends, as well as some self-introspection.
I admit the crime had me stumped. Plenty of suspects. But I wasn’t completely surprised at the murderer. Then came the real twist. The one I didn’t see coming. The ultimate act of violence. Wow, I thought, okay.
Then I got to the end and realized there’s a major strand hanging loose. Therefore, there will, of course, be more books.
Totally fine with me. I’m happy to go wherever Mr. Ashe leads me. And as long as Charlie David narrates the books in such a fine manner, we’re golden.

Unhealthy relationships and toxic masculinity!
North and Shaw are my least favourite of Gregory Ashe's couples. I think what puts me off falling for this couple is the constant bickering matched with the uninspired narration. Maybe some think it's cute or funny for a couple to be arguing all the time as they try to press one another's buttons, but I find it really annoying. Maybe the back and forth works better on the page, but it feels as if the narrator misses out on nuisance and cues in the couple's banter and their arguments become too confusing to follow. North and Shaw seem to have a really unhealthy relationship and no matter how much they say they love one another my conclusion is that these guys really should not be together. which makes any semblance of this being a romance (mm mystery) difficult to swallow.
This story was troubling - North and Shaw were investigating the murder of their ex-lecturer who had hooked up with North's physically abusive not quite ex-husband.. There was a lot of angst, manipulation, and psychological abuse - not only waged by Tucker toward North, but in the way North treated Shaw. I wanted Shaw to walk away so many times. It felt at times that Ashe used the nonsensical arguments to distract from the deeply troubling emotional abuse that was playing out between the couple. It was so toxic and there was so much to unpack, and all the while North and Shaw were supposed to be investigating a murder...and still... the elephant in the room is that they're just not very good investigators even though the author keeps telling us they're the best!
I remain unconvinced about North and Shaw's ability to become a healthy couple especially as Gregory Ashe loves to put his men through psychological torture - and they haven't yet dealt with North's not-uncle Ronnie.
One thing I was glad about was that there were only a few cameos from their office manager Pari, who is one of the most irritating characters I've ever read. Thanks for that Gregory!
